What soap/cream did you use today?

“Barbershop” is such a subjective term.  You state “citrus” and we all know the sort of scent we can expect.  Barbershop, not so much.  In fact I went a few years thinking I didn’t like barbershop scents because the first two I’d had experience with were not pleasant for me.  Suffice it to say that in the intervening time I have come to understand the vagaries of the genre and have several that are favorites.  WSP Barbershop falls in the “top notes” arena for the classification and leans heavy on a citrus top.  I wouldn’t call it lilting, like Local Gents California Barber, because there is a good base of things going on here too (oak moss etc), but it is light and bright and pretty stinking good. Performance is excellent.  Scent strength is about 7/10.  Why we don’t see it more than we do? Likely those small tins the soap comes in.  As you can see, I generally move WSP products into a wider container.

Hi guys,

New to the Damn Fine Shave.  I was referred by Dragonsbeard as I ordered some ethos grooming products from him.  This is my first post.  Today I used Executive shaving company’s bay rum shave cream, one of my absolute favorites.
